Gibson a 15-gome Winner last season was breaking in a new air of baseball spikes late last september when they caught inthe dirt As he was taking batting practice. The was Bro Ken right or a Mph look All i Ter to heal. He is almost completely sound now but the Cardinal brass is watching him anxiously since heis the key Man on the pitching staff. Other Startoni the other regular starters should be Ernie Brogulo and Roy Wash Burn a pair of right handers who had identical 12-9 records left hander Ray Sadecky. Who won six games for St. Louis seven or at Lanta and was something of a prob Lem child for Keane and right hander Ron Taylor obtained from the Cleveland indians in Exchange for first baseman Fred will fled Veteran Southpaw Curt summons who won 10 games and lost the same number last year also Weir be in the starting rotation Al Hough he s going on 34 and May Equire some extra rest h Lweyn i tarts. I that leaves Fellows ilk Dlo medes Olvo obtained from the rates Bobby Shantz and possibly Bob Dull a and de Batuta in the bullpen. Rookie Harry Fanok who was 12-10 at Atlanta also could Moke the staff. The one place the cords Are particularly Strong is in the Power department with such sluggers Asken Boyer Stan Musial Bill White and Altman. Even Catcher Gene Oliver can reach the fences frequently.
